HyperMed Imaging, Inc. announces that it has received approval to apply the CE Mark for the HyperView™ medical imaging system which will allow distribution in Europe. HyperView is also currently distributed in the United States.

The HyperView System is a fast, handheld, battery operated, non-invasive and portable diagnostic imaging device that is used to assess tissue oxygenation without contacting the patient.  The system uses proprietary technology to capture a diagnostic image containing data for oxyhemoglobin levels (Oxy), deoxyhemoglobin levels (Deoxy) and oxygen saturation (O2Sat) in superficial tissue.  Published literature has demonstrated that HyperView may assist the clinician in determining if a wound has adequate blood perfusion to heal.  Likewise the clinician can assess if a vascular intervention or additional therapy is needed to improve perfusion.

Mark Darty, HyperMed’s President and CEO stated, “Receiving CE Mark for our HyperView product is a major milestone in our global commercialization efforts and we look forward to launching sales in the European market this year.  HyperView is a leap forward in non-invasive assessment of vascular perfusion and tissue oximetry.  HyperMed will have a marketing presence at vascular, wound care and reconstructive surgery conferences in Europe this year.  We look forward to engaging key opinion leader medical professionals throughout Europe for the introduction of our class leading product and technology.”

Dr. Bauer Sumpio, Yale Medical School Professor of Surgery, Radiology and Medicine commented, “The HyperView product provides significant benefit in determining regional foot perfusion adequacy in vascular compromised patients.  It is fast, easy and provides reliable diagnostics in comparison to existing standard of care devices.  Endovascular surgery, wound care, and reconstructive surgery are all important areas which could benefit from use of the product.  Its use as a screening tool prior to vascular interventions or various wound healing therapies can document the need for the procedure and its use post procedure can document the success and effectiveness of such procedures.”

HyperMed Imaging, Inc. is a privately owned medical device company located in Memphis, TN focused on vascular imaging.  HyperMed pioneered the use of visible hyperspectral imaging for assessment of tissue oximetry in the superficial capillary bed. HyperMed’s unique use of visible light hyperspectral technology as opposed to use of near infrared light is to avoid mixing data from subcutaneous arteries and veins with that from the superficial capillary bed where oximetry data is different.  Therefore, as demonstrated by published clinical research, HyperMed’s technology allows for consistent readings on which perfusion adequacy levels can be assessed.  HyperMed’s core technology has over 12 years of established clinical efficacy and many journal publications.  With over 60 issued patents and more than 40 additional patents pending worldwide, HyperMed is the market leader in advanced hyperspectral medical imaging.  We invite key opinion leader physicians, customers and potential commercial partners worldwide to contact us for more information.

HyperMed Imaging, Inc. announced today that it has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the company’s new medical imaging device called HyperView™. The HyperView product is a handheld, battery operated, portable diagnostic imaging device that is used to assess tissue oxygenation without contacting the patient. The product is intended for use by physicians and healthcare professionals as a noninvasive tissue oxygenation measurement system that reports an approximate value of oxygen saturation (O2Sat), oxyhemoglobin level (Oxy), and deoxyhemoglobin level (Deoxy) in superficial tissue. The HyperView system displays two-dimensional, color-coded images of tissue oxygenation of the scanned surface. Images and data provide hyperspectral tissue oxygenation measurements for selected tissue regions. The product is indicated for use to determine oxygenation levels in superficial tissues for patients with potential circulatory compromise.

The HyperView product produces similar data and images as HyperMed’s prior OxyVu™-1 product which has been in service in the US for many years. In comparison to OxyVu-1, the new HyperView product is smaller, faster, and more portable. There are many research publications establishing the OxyVu-1 product effectiveness in a number of key applications involving tissue oximetry. Such applications involve, among others, wound care and associated vascular complications of diabetes and peripheral vascular disease.

HyperMed’s President and CEO Mark Darty stated, “The new HyperView product represents a significant advancement in non-invasive assessment of superficial tissue oxygenation. We began years ago by first meeting with clinicians to understand their working environment and determine user requirements. The need for portability, ease of use and speed of imaging required a full custom design for the HyperView product. Our team’s effort has long been energized by a belief that the HyperView product holds great potential to positively impact the lives of millions of patients. With this new FDA clearance we are now pleased to be able to offer clinicians and patients in the US this exciting next generation imaging device.”

Dr. Aristidis Veves, Harvard Medical School Professor of Surgery and Research Director of the Microcirculation Lab at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center commented, “The HyperView is a new and innovative product that can provide clinicians a better understanding of surface perfusion and localized oxygen delivery in patients with potential circulatory compromise, which is important for a number of applications including limb ischemia, wound healing, and reconstructive surgery.” Dr. Veves is Chairman of HyperMed Imaging’s Scientific Advisory Board.

HyperMed Imaging, Inc. is a privately owned medical device company and the market leader in hyperspectral medical imaging. HyperMed pioneered the use of its novel version of hyperspectral imaging for assessment of superficial tissue oximetry with its OxyVu-1 device, first cleared by the FDA in 2006. HyperMed currently has over 30 issued patents and more than 40 additional patents pending worldwide on its hyperspectral medical imaging technology and associated products.
